    He looks like a solid prospect.
    I like his ability to put combo's together, and his ability to come back with a same hand scoring punch after he missed before. Wich is very rare with heavyweight boxers.

    He reads the body movement of his opponents and anticipates pretty quickly.
    Nice boxer.

    Oh yes, the question still remains on whether or not he is chinny. . .

    He ate a few clean punches by Serhei, but nothing crucial to really give us an idea. . .

    As far as other posters addressing his defense, or lack thereof, he does seem to rely on his foot speed as his main defensive mechanism - he simply skeets out of range. . But he doesn't go straight back, as he always circles away from the power hand. . .

    We'll find out how good his high-guard is, and his "slickness" (head, and upper body movement enabling one to slip, bob, weave, and duck punches) before too long, though. . .

    I really like the guy but he stands zero chance vs Klitschko's....if he keeps developing he has a chance of being a champ when the Klits are gone

    he really impressed last 2 times out on NBC. I'm a fan

    Jennings is awesome. Beat a former world champ already and he only has 13 fights! He is like Holyfield in his way. He's fighting Steve Collins this week and I expect him to give a one sided beat down. TKO in 5.

    Zero chance? Just stop it. Have you seen other boxing matches man? Upsets and underdogs win often. Stop acting like the Klitschko brothers are so unbeatable. Ross Purrity beat Wladimir! Byrd beat Vitali!
    I'm not saying Jennings is ready yet but in a year or 2,he will be ready and he stand as good a chance as any man who gets in the ring.

    **** outa here with that ****. This dude will get eaten by Wlad in 2 years he would lay a glove on him. I'm a klitshcko hater but c'mon son Purrity Wlad is hardly relevant to today's Wlad and Byrd was getting beat handily by Vitali before Vitali quit. Sans shoulder injury Vitali beats Byrd 10/10. Lewis on the other hand ****s up Wlad and Vitali but he's an ATG and hardly comparable to Jennings.

    Solid prospect. I like him more than Mitchell myself.

    Only thing I wish is if Jennings was about 24 right now. 27 ain't old either, but we'll see

    I'm not impressed.

    Beating shot to **** Liakhovich proves absolutely nothing.

    True. He is still very much a work in progress. He seems like he is willing to take steps up.... But we'll see.

    Could be lining him up for Adamek down the road if they both keep fighting on nbc.

    he's solid. decent speed, pop, and best of all, he comes in shape. he's an athlete, so he can get consistently better with experience. his chin has yet to be tested though.

    Funny how his mgr R Peltz phone UBP, Szpilkas ppl and tried to get Szpilka in there with Jennings instead. Szpilka went on to beat TBA in typical fashion, then fled the US to avoid further call outs.

    Yeah, thats right, Jennings WANTS Szpilka and he wants to shatter his glass jaw into hundreds of thousands of peices.:deal

    The guy's already 27 years old and only 2 years into his career. What's with all these American prospects starting their pro careers so late?

    Also definitely better in skills than Mitchell at the moment, but Mitchell has raw power which cannot be taught.
